The spread of the novel coronavirus in India has quickened in the last few days with new cases of Covid-19 and deaths reported every day. The epidemic has expanded its footprint in the country and has affected more than 4.73 lakh people since the first positive case was confirmed on Jan. 30 in Kerala.
More than three billion people around the world have lived under lockdown as governments stepped up efforts to contain the pandemic, which has left more than 4.8 lakh people dead globally.
While Covid-19 has impacted the US, Brazil and Russia the worst, India has already felt the hit to its economy. Covid-19 has also spread to far-flung regions of the country.
